I'm older now, and simple beer pleasures are the most meaningful to me. They tend to be encountered locally. It is my aim to get unplugged and explore some of them, slowly and thoughtfully. I'd tell you where it's leading, except that I've no idea ... and that's the whole point of the journey: To find out.

Happy Birthday, Benjamin Franklin.

I should have no objection to go over the same life from its beginning to the end: requesting only the advantage authors have, of correcting in a second edition, the faults of the first.-- Benjamin Franklin

Today is the 300th birthday of Benjamin Franklin, who was born in Boston on January 17, 1706.

At 11:00 a.m., Rich O’s Public House and Sportstime Pizza will be rolling out our barrels of Poor Richard’s “Old Lightning Rod” Ale. We brewed a full 8-barrel (248 gallon) batch, so it should be on tap for a while, not just today.
